Hi,

Just upload your creations to incoming in ftp and then send an email here
with an URL pointing to it, and explaning what it is. Also add a copyright
notice, saying it was made by whoever made it, and distributed with a
usable license (such as GPL or public domain).

As for sound, we really need all kinds of sounds. If you read the
soundspec file, you will notice that lots and lots of units share the same
attack sounds. Ideally, each unit should have its own attack sound. But I
think all units of the same move type should share move sound, we lack a
air unit move sound though (I think).

Each building and wonder should ideally have its own sound when it is
completed (we might play this when you open a city dialog with a completed
building of this type).
